Academic Policies

Withdrawal or Change of Status

Students are deemed enrolled for the entire trimester or term and as such are not permitted to withdraw from the course or change to audit status without prior approval of the Registrar.

1. Policies
   • Withdrawal or change to audit status is permitted up to the seventh week of the trimester for the MBA Standard, Middle Manager, and MBA-Health programs, subject to the approval of the Registrar.
   • Withdrawal or change of status to audit is permitted up to the fourth week for the Ateneo-Regis program.

   If the student files an official intent of withdrawal by completing the required form, he/she will not be given credit for the class, and a mark of “W” (officially withdrawn) will be given and entered into the transcript of records.

   If the student does not file an official withdrawal and drops the subjects without notice and approval, the student shall be given a mark of “UW” (unofficial withdrawal). A UW is equivalent to a failing mark of 1.0 and is entered into the transcript of records.

2. Procedure

   The following procedure is followed for withdrawal or change of status to audit:

   • The student fills out the Withdrawal and Change Status Form available at the Registrar.
   • The student secures endorsement from his/her professor and submits the form to the Office of the Registrar.
   • The Registrar approves the withdrawals or change of status based on meritorious grounds. Where withdrawals allow refunds or tuition deferments, the Registrar notes it on the form.
   • The student pays the processing fee to the Cashier.
   • The Office of the Registrar then enters the withdrawal or change of status in the student records.
